Stade Toulousain approached the meeting perfectly. This Sunday, the club won a valuable victory on the pitch of Racing 92 in the Top 14. All without the presence of many internationals, left to rest after the November tour. Enough to prepare in the best possible way for the launch of the Champions Cup next week. Antoine Dupont's teammates will want to improve their record in the competition and retain their title.
“It’s obvious that we’re going to put our best team in”
So obviously, Virgile Lacombe made no secrets at the press conference. The coach of the Toulouse scrum announced that the executives will be out, in comments reported by The Dispatch : “We got into it a bit on our own with avoidable mistakes. We also had difficulty gaining speed, with fast rucks, on soft ground. We tried to manage the squad during this period to find a certain balance. In the first two Champions Cup matches, it is obvious that we are going to put our best team and our managers. But during this particular period, we also saw our young players respond. And that’s really very positive. They bring energy. » After hosting Ulster next Sunday, Toulouse will travel to Exeter. Dupont, Meafou, Flament, Mauvaka, Roumat or even Kinghorn or Mallia should make their return.
